Chapter 1197 Life and death balance!
"The snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman gains benefits. In the battle between the two giants of the Empire and the Holy Alliance, our federation is certainly not a fisherman, but we can also get a certain breathing space from it."
Jiang Hailiu's view is similar to Zhou Yifu's statement before the Nascent Soul Conference. "If there is only a super force in the center of the Star Sea, the 'Real Human Empire', then they can concentrate all their resources and military forces to defeat the weak forces on the edge of the Star Sea. With our three great worlds, we are naturally not enough to compete with hundreds of great worlds."
"But now, the biggest enemy of the empire is the Holy Alliance. Both sides are launching a magnificent Millennium War in the middle of the Star Sea. It is obviously impossible to draw too much military force to deal with us, the "landscape" who are among the "poor mountains and bad waters."
Jiang Hailiu's self-deprecating statement caused a burst of laughter and made the atmosphere in the venue much more relaxed.
Jiang Hailiu also smiled slightly and continued: "Most of the information we collected about the 'Real Human Empire' comes from the 'Star Kid'. Xinghai also said in the battle with fellow Taoists such as Li Yao, Luo Xingzi and others that the policies of the 'Real Human Empire are quite 'magnanimous'. If they are willing to cooperate with the empire, the empire can give the Flying Star Realm quite high autonomy. As long as the Flying Star Realm continues to hand over the population, resources and strong people."
"This statement may have a certain credibility. The Empire and the Holy Alliance are launching a war that is evenly matched and live to the death. In this war, both sides are desperately collecting more populations and resources from the world and investing in the burning war purgatory. Whoever can collect more populations, resources and strong people may be able to achieve the final victory!"
"Then, the purpose of the Imperial Expeditionary Force will be revealed."
"It is not for the long-term conquest, but for the plunder of a large number of people and resources in the shortest time to deal with the truly life-and-death war between them and the Holy Alliance!"
"So, the expeditionary force we will face in one or two hundred years may not be the strongest army of the real human empire, but more likely to be an existence like a 'slave hunter' or 'predators', who is here to find 'cannon fodder'!"
"And we don't need to completely eliminate it. As long as we make it realize that the resources to consume when the war continues will far exceed the benefits we can get after defeating us. This is a war that is 'not worth the loss', and then it may retreat!"
After Jiang Hailiu analyzed this, many of the Nascent Soul's eyes shone.
Originally, everyone thought that the expedition of the real human empire was a great disaster of collapse and earth, but if you think about it carefully, war is an extension of politics, and politics must be about benefits. No one will launch a war without any interests.
The empire as strong as the real human beings, and to send a huge expeditionary force to millions and tens of millions of light years away, it is also a matter of causing trouble and consuming countless resources. The empires may be evil, but they are definitely not idiots. What are they trying to do?
Cannon fodder! The purpose of their coming to the Federation was to collect a large amount of cannon fodder and go back and devote themselves to the war with the Holy Alliance!
In other words, as long as the Federation can severely damage the Imperial Expeditionary Force and make the Empire realize that the input and output of this war are completely disproportionate, and this transaction is very likely to "lose", then the Federation may continue to ensure its independence!
"Of course our Federation will not be limited to winning this small defensive battle. This is just our starting point!"
Jiang Hailiu said meaningfully, "War is the best catalyst for civilization to advance, and it is also the fastest way to learn from advanced civilizations! If we can truly withstand the storm of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, then our civilization will definitely take a big step forward!"
"In the center of the Star Sea, the Empire and the Holy Alliance are fighting and killing the sky and the earth. The Empire must have developed many tactics and magic weapons to deal with the Holy Alliance, and the Holy Alliance will inevitably develop countless killer weapons specifically targeting the Empire."
"If we federal people have the opportunity to go to the center of the Star Sea to learn how these two Star Sea giant beasts fight, how to bite each other's throats and dig out each other's hearts, then we will definitely have a chance to grow into a new Star Sea giant beast!"
"Everyone may think that I am fantastic, but we don't need to grow to the scale of the empire and the Holy Alliance. Even if the comprehensive national strength is only one-tenth of theirs, it is enough."
"As long as the Empire and the Holy Alliance are still in a stage of equal strength, it is like a balance that barely maintains balance, even if we are just a feather or a straw, it can affect the result of this 'balance of life and death'!"
"We have only one principle, 'sweeping the strong and supporting the weak'. If the Holy Alliance is strong and the Empire is weak, then we will temporarily unite the Empire to fight against the Holy Alliance; if the emerging power of the Holy Alliance lacks momentum and is gained by the Empire, then we will unite the Holy Alliance to fight against the Empire!"
"In short, keep the balance between these two super forces and prevent either side from completely gaining the upper hand, allowing them to continue to lose blood during the long war and both lose both sides. We took the opportunity to learn their most advanced superb skills and war methods until the end, our minions were completely sharp and their wings were completely full, becoming the top players in the sea of stars!"
"In short, in a word, the Federation has hope, and the Three Realms have hope! As long as all fellow Taoists are firm in the heart of Tao and work together, we can not only resist any invasion of foreign enemies, but one day we can even kill to the center of the star sea, so that the four words "human civilization" will shine with its true glory again!"
Jiang Hailiu ended passionately, causing thunderous applause, and all the Nascent Soul and the Demon Emperor were very excited.
As an old monster in Nascent Soul, who has no ambition to dominate the starry sea and surround the universe? Who is truly willing to be trapped in the remote countryside on the edge of the starry sea forever, and is regarded as a "landscape" by the super forces in the center of the starry sea?
Especially when they learned that countless ordinary people in the center of the Star Sea were tragically ravaged by the Empire and the Holy Alliance, living a life worse than death, their hearts of Tao will never allow them to sit idly.
"We are the most authentic heirs in the spiritual level of the 'Star Sea Empire'! We are the last guardians of human civilization! Kill to the center of the 'Star Sea' and let 'Human civilization' reappear the glory of ten thousand years ago!"
Every Nascent Soul, including Li Yao, was short of breath, and deep in his heart, made such a cry.
As for those demon kings, their moods are even more complicated.
Perhaps they could not understand the full meaning of the four words "human civilization" for a while.
But "return to the center of the star sea", their ancestors have been thinking about it for ten thousand years and have penetrated into their bloodlines!
Over the past ten thousand years, the demon clan has retreated step by step, lost one home after another, and lost one homeland after another. Until today, the blood demon world has become one of the few last demon clan worlds.
Even in the past, compared with the Tianyuan Realm, the blood demon world was slightly stronger, but every demon king in the Ten Thousand Demons Palace understood that "killing back to the center of the Star Sea" was simply a foolish nonsense and an impossible dream!
But now, if you unite with the Starry Federation, there will be such a slim chance to return to the center of the Starry Sea?
Even if you have to change your banner, change your identity, or even change your appearance, then... you will eventually return to your hometown!
For a moment, the demon kings looked at each other and their breathing became rapid.
"What Fellow Daoist Jiang said is true. I also think that the Federation has great hope. In fact, the gap in strength between the Federation and the Empire and the Holy Alliance may not be as big as we imagined!"
Historian Zhou Yifu spoke again, "Yes, now we only control three great worlds, and the empires and holy alliances that occupy the essence of the central area of the Star Sea may each control hundreds of great worlds!"
"But our comprehensive national strength comparison is by no means as simple as 'one to one hundred'!"
"I wonder if you have any understanding of the 'Empire Territory Theory'? Due to the complexity of communication, transportation and information processing, no matter how huge the empire is, it has its limits of expansion. Just like no matter how powerful the prehistoric beast is, it cannot grow without limit. If it expands to a certain scale, it must stop growing, otherwise it is very likely to be crushed by its own weight!"
"In the definition of modern cosmology, the vast world we live in is a resource gathering area that can be reached in a short time under sub-light speed conditions, through conventional navigation methods."
"In the same world, you can use sub-light speeds or even lower speeds to communicate. The exchange of resources and population is relatively easy, and the control is strongest."
"Whether different worlds need to 'break the void', 'break the three-dimensional space barrier', and 'starry sky jump' to transport, which consumes countless resources, is extremely dangerous, and is often involved in the turbulence of the four-dimensional space and annihilated it invisible!"
"Don't 'starry skipping', or use sub-light speed or even light speed navigation methods? Those two worlds that are 100,000 light years apart need to sail for a full 100,000 years to reach. This does not count the expansion of the universe itself!"
"Think about it, today we just gathered the three powerful men from the world together. For such a meeting, we have to use the 'arrayed star sea communication array' to burn countless crystals every second, and we have to worry about the interference of high-dimensional space storms, and there will be a few minutes or even longer signal delays!"
"So, even if the real human empire and the Covenant Alliance really have hundreds of worlds, how high does their rulers have control over these worlds? How can the imperial capital, the 'Pixel World, Pole Star', ensure absolute control over another world tens of millions of light years?"
